● Research interest：
Maintaining energy homeostasis is critical for survival. Energy balance requires a variety of processes to be regulated properly. Metabolic changes in response to environmental stimuli are mediated partly by transcription factors and their coactivators. Combining molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry and bioinformatic techniques, we are investigating tissue-specific roles of transcription coactivators in maintaining energy homeostasis.
